Cavan County Council, in consultation with the HSE, has issued a 'Do Not Consume' notice to Mountain Lodge Group Water Scheme, with immediate effect.
The move is due to elevated levels of manganese in the treated water.
Boiling the water will not render it safe for consumption and the local authority is advising consumers to find an alternative source for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth or gargling.
